Sean Young Bio

Sean Young (born November 20, 1959) is an American Actress. She is best known for her performances in the films Blade Runner (1982), Dune (1984), No Way Out (1987), Wall Street (1987), Cousins(1989) and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994).

The 1980s

Young began her film career in 1980 in the film Jane Austen in Manhattan, followed by a role in the 1981 film Stripes. She then played the female lead, Rachael, alongside Harrison Ford in the classic science fiction film Blade Runner (1982). On television in 1986, Young played the female lead opposite Lenny Von Dohlen in Under the Biltmore Clock, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story Myra Meets His Family. The following year, she had a small role in the film Wall Street as the wife of Michael Douglas’s character, Gordon Gekko. Her role was originally intended to be larger, but was significantly reduced due to clashes with Oliver Stone.

One of her most prominent roles was as the lover of a ruthless Washington politician (Gene Hackman) in 1987’s No Way Out, alongside Kevin Costner. Other notable credits include Dune, Fatal Instinct, and Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend.

In 1988, Young appeared in The Boost with James Woods. Woods later sued her for harassing him and his then-fiancée, alleging that, in addition to other disruptive behavior, Young left a disfigured doll on his doorstep. Young denied the allegations and claimed that Woods filed the lawsuit out of spite. Young stated, “It was a Crush being turned down, that’s all…. So sue me! And he (Woods) did.” The suit was settled out of court in 1989. Young was awarded $227,000 to cover her legal costs.

Young was next cast as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton’s 1989 film Batman, but during rehearsals, she broke her arm after falling off a horse and was replaced by Kim Basinger. In an unsuccessful attempt to win the role of Catwoman (which was originally offered to Annette Bening but ultimately went to Michelle Pfeiffer after Bening became pregnant) in the sequel Batman Returns, Young constructed a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to contact Burton and actor Michael Keaton during production.

The 1990s

Young was cast as Tess Trueheart in the 1990 movie Dick Tracy. However, she was dismissed in favor of Glenne Headly for not appearing maternal in the role. Young later claimed her dismissal was punishment for her having R&Buffed Warren Beatty’s advances, a claim Beatty denies. In 1991, she was awarded the Worst Actress and the Worst Supporting Actress Razzies for her roles in A Kiss Before Dying. She played a supporting role in the 1994 comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. She also played Helen Hyde in the 1995 comedy Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde. During most of the 1990s, she resided in Sedona, Arizona, and her career cooled. In 1997, though, Young reprised her role as Rachael in the 1997 Blade RunnerVideo game. Her face was scanned and reproduced in three dimensions, one of the first times such technology was used in a game.
